To (ill. i i/tom 2 wm concern:

Be it known that I Gnome it. lvlILLER 7 7 a citizen oi the United States, residing at lVoodrow. in the county of Haywood and State of North Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvements in Double Saw Sets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a saw set, the general object of the invention being to provide means for setting opposing sets of the teeth of the saw so that it is not necessary to first set the teeth on one side and then the teeth on the other side as is done with the old style set.

Another object or the invention is to provide means whereby the parts can be adjusted to make a fine. or coarse set. A. further objectoi the invention is to provide means whereby theset can be taken out of the teeth when desired.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which Q Figure l is a front view of the invention.

the casing.

l* i; ure 17 is a view of theiorlied end of the stationary handle.

Figure 18 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the parts shown in Figure 5 show ing'a sawiin dotted lines. 3 y i In these views 1 indicates a casing which is provided with a centrally located slot 2 in its lower part which divides the easing into two chambers. Blocks 3 and 1 are located in said chambers, the block 3 being normally held within the chamberby the z'rontractible springs 5 while the block l is held stationary in ts chamber by means of the pins 6 in the bottom oi the chamber engaging recesses 7 in the bottom of the block. Block 4 is hollow and has slidably mounted therein a rack bar 8 which is adapted to be moved by the pin 9 on the stemlO which is rotatably mounted in the block and is provided with'a handle 11 which is located above the upper open end of the casing. The racl; bar 8 carries the setting member 12 which has its connecting piece extending through a slot 13 formed in the front face of the block 4;. In this way the setting member can be adjusted lengthwise of the block. Setting member 14 is firmly attached to block 3 so that this member is not adjustable.

Gage plates 15 engage the inner face of the blocks, each plate being provided with a beveled projection 16 on its upper edge for cooperating with the setting member on the opposing block and each gageplate is provided with a. notch 17 through which the setting member extends, the notch for otthis member. The plates are vertically adjustable on the blocks by means of the lugs 18 on the hiocks engaging slots 19 in the plates. the lugs on the spring controlied block 3 being screw lugs. The ends of the gage plates are notched, as at 20. for receivingprojections 21 on vertically adjustable plates mounted on the outer sides of the casing and having beveled edges engagingunder cut grooves in the sides of These plates are slotted, as at 23. for receiving the saw and they are adjust-ed by means of the yoke member 24:

pivoted to the sides of the casing, as at 25, and having their notched ends 26 engaging projections 27' at the upper ends of the plates 22. A screw 28 is rotatably connected with the yoke and engages a screw threaded hole 29 in the casing so that when I this screw is turned the yoke will be adjusted to adjust the sliding plates 22 and the gage plates 15. The screw 28 is provided with a head 30 by which it may be rotated by the fingers.

' for engaging the block 3, the parts being so arranged that when the handle is moved downwardly uponthe stationary handle the projections will force the block 3 towards the block 4 and thus cause the setting membersto engage a pair of the saw teeth and thus set the same, one tooth being pressed in one direction and the other tooth in an opposite direction. By means of the racl: bar and. its associated parts the setting members can be properly adjusted to engage the teeth of the saw and by adjusting the gage plates vertically the desired set or pitch can be given the teeth of the saw.

It will thus be seen that both sides of the saw areset at the same time and it is not necessary to first set the teeth on one side and then set the teeth on the other side. WVhen it is desired to straighten the teeth or take the set therefrom the lower parts of the gage plates can be placed in engagement with the saw teeth and then by pressing the handles together the straight'parts of the gage plates will press the saw teeth into a straight position and thus take the set therefrom.

Lugs 35 are formed on the forked part of the stationary handle which engage the outer edges of the beveled projections on the gage plates. v I

It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.-

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

-, What I claim is i- 1. A saw set of the class described comprising asupporting member having a saw receiving slot therein, a pair of blocks can the slot, a saw'setting member carried by each block, means for moving one member longitudinally over its block, gage plates on the adjacent faces "of the block, means for moving one block towards and away from the other block and means for adj usting the gage plates on the blocks.

2. A saw set of the class described comprising a supporting member having a saw receiving slot therein, a pair of blocks carried by said member, one on each side of the slot, a saw setting member carried by each block, means for moving one member slot therein, a pair of blocks mounted in the casing, one on each side or the slot, a rack bar in one block, a stem rotatably mounted in the block, a pinion on the stem engaging the rack bar, the said block having a slot in its front face; a setting member connected with the rack bar and having a part passing through the slot, a stationary setting member on the other block and means for moving one block towards and away from the other.

4. A saw set ofthe class described comprising a casing having a saw receiving slot therein, a pair of blocksmounted in the casing, one on each side of the slot, a rack bar in one block, a stem rotatably mounted in the block a pinion on the stem engaging the rack bar, the sald block having a slotin its front face, a setting member connected with the rack bar and having a part passing through the slot a stationary setting member on the other block and means for moving one block towards and away from" the other such means consisting of a pivoted lever having a part engaging the blbck for forcing the same towards the other block when the handle is depressed and spring means for normally holding the block away from the other block.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature. GEORGE WESLEY MILLER.
